Interestingly, that 'Someone' has not posted on the thread on the other forum I guess
And btw, got to know one more of skoda horror stories today - one of my friend's dad bought a Laura after a month or 2 it was launched. While driving on the expressway to wards mumbai, ABS on his car failed and he had to call up the Skoda service in Mumbai ( as he was abt 40KMs from mumbai ). He was told to get the car to service station all by himself. All this happening at 10AM in the morning - not even some un-earthly hour !!
Take that for a customer who dumps his 16-17L on a car from internationally reputed brand (???) and still doesn't get a breakdown van from the company !
I have asked him to pen down the experience, just to post it on the forum - and mind you , there are a lot more people with similar experiences.
